- Does a wrong prophetic word make you a false prophet? What does the bible say about this? How does the bible describe a false prophet? Do Christians too casually accuse others of being false teachers and false prophets?

Very well said. A true word from the Lord and a true prophet of God will always point people to Christ - not to themselves. That is the bottom line. God bless you sir.
God bless you my friend. I appreciate your insight.
Amen.
Jesus said...Many will be persecuted by my namesake keep your eye in the word & trust christ put GOD 1st❤
If the Holy Spirit leads you to question anything (that intuitive inner voice), pray about it! God will ABSOLUTELY let you know who and what to listen to. Read your Bible! KNOW The Word so that you have discernment.
Very well said, perfect advice 😁
Confirmation! God gives us discernment about other people, while the Bible convicts us of our own sins. 💯
It is a sign of spiritual maturity and decrement when one is prayerful about all words spoken over them and they hold up every message/teaching/prophecy to the truth and light of Holy Scripture! Sadly, there are people that embrace soothsayers yet they reject prophets and teachers that give words of rebuke, reproof, and correction.
Finally, it is evident that you are sensitive to the spirit of G-d by the sheer fact that you took the first video down not to cause confusion to the Body. Also, your humility and heart for G-d cannot be denied! I hope not one judges because every Believer should be willing to listen and be lead by the spirit not only when it come to social media but especially in their private lives!
"Sadly, there are people that embrace soothsayers yet they reject prophets and teachers that give words of rebuke, reproof, and correction." - This.
So true! 🎯 And thank you for the encouragement. It goes a long ways. 🙏🏼 God bless you my friend and thanks for the inspiring comment!
Did you know every Bible, every new testament in the world has Paul's epistles in the exact same order, not the case with other material.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Recognizing the order here is absolutely crucial for greater understanding!
doctrine
proof
reproof
correction
lastly - instruction in righteousness
Exact same order epistles are given in every NT in the world!
No way to convince me Paul contrived this by his doing, another signature of God......
Reason I share this, first it is amazing!
Secondly - when studying the Bible in detail repeatedly in changes behavior! Correcting behavior becoming closer to righteousness by the act of washing ourselves by the Word!
God bless!
God Bless you for staying within the words of the Gospels. We Need more Truth that aligns with the Truth of the Gospel you are so right. May the Lord Jesus Christ send His Majestic, Mighty Angels to Watch Over and Protect you from All evil Attacks .
I didnt feel good about our coversation earlier today i didnt want to come off as some heckler keep up the good work brother.
No issues at all my friend! I didn’t take it that way. I’m not sure what was said after I replied to you, but either way, there is no offense taken whatsoever. God bless you man!
Adam, this second video was more clear than the first one, thank you. I know you meant well but as an ex-Mormon the first video wasn’t as clear as this.
I appreciate the grace! 🙏🏼
I already wrote a comment, but I have to get this off of my chest:
To know the Word is one thing, but to have our hearts close to God... is another story.
Amen brother and very well said. Praying for discernment is something that gets lost a lot of times in prayer. The most important thing of all is to invite the Holy Spirit in on a daily basis to be the filter needed throughout your day. To eliminate all of yourself to maximize all of divinity.
Thank you for this - this has been weighing on my heart lately. I've been seeing sooo many well-meaning Christians calling fellow siblings in Christ false just because they believe in cessationist theology etc instead of using genuine discernment and testing what they say against Scripture. :( I believe the church is experiencing an over-correction against the false prophets raised up by the devil, and sadly the devil has succeeded in disuniting believers by getting believers to reject anyone who exercises spiritual gifts these days. 😔
Amen, brother! So glad to hear "It's about the intentions of the heart" is shared with the world! This is why I can't say enough that the Parable of the good trees versus the bad trees (Matthew 7:15-23) is the _full_ context that tells us _why_ Christ says "Depart from me, ye that work iniquity". Yeah. It's definitely about the intentions of the heart.
Your videos have all been a blessing to my life! Very well in depth and definetly spirit led, Love you brother❤
🫶🏼
Thank you for considering our concerns, I also believe a good postured heart believer can occasionally get a prophesy wrong, but it’s not a license to be spitting out prophesies like sunflower seeds with no accountability, that’s dangerous
Amen. I agree.
True prophesy will always lead you to Jesus and the Word
Yes it does
God bless you brotha
Your real brother 👍. Awesome video like always 🙏
Praise God...
I DIDNT EVEN WATCH THE VIDEO PRIOR BUT THAT AMAZING THAT DUDE REDID A ENTIRE VIDEO JUST TO.MAKE A CLARFATION OF WHAT HE SAID PRIOR THATS AWESOME. ITS GREAT TO SEE IT I DONT KNOW THE FULL CONTEXT BUT UR POINT WAS MADE IN 2 AREAS THANKS FOR THE VID
I agree; it’s something called character and integrity and it is something that sorely missing today. Refreshing to see it, isn’t it?
@@TrueSight_333 shame we don't see it much
@@markdan1114 Yes sir, it is a shame.
Watched several of your videos now..
You seem like a genuine chap to me, who is trying to get the actual original teachings of Scripture across to other's...
Keep up the good work!
Godbless you and yours!
Thank you my friend 🙏🏼
@@glasshousetvofficial You are very welcome brother. God is Good Amen 🙏✝️
Great stuff
Thank you so much for this teaching! I'm glad I found your channel. We do need to test against the Word and use discernment and wisdom.
Thank you, Mr. Adam, thank you.
Well done m8 God bless...
Bless you
You'll know the tree by the fruit
Yes true
Absolutely, but sometimes it’s not always apparent at first blush. That’s why it’s so critical to not only know the Lord’s voice, but to know his Word.
@@TrueSight_333
The Holy Spirit will guide you in all truth but you have to be able to recognize his voice
@@linleycovington5628 Yes, and we do that by being familiar with it. I'm still learning after 25+ years...
If you don’t have discernment and grounded in the word then beware of false prophets and teachers as Jesus warned.
Matthew 7:15-20
English Standard Version
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. 7:32
Being grounded in the Word is key - I continue to be astonished at the lies people swallow. I detest false prophets because I've seen the damage they can do and have been the recipient of it as well. Horrible. Satan and his children always come as angels of light, and that's why they are so insidious. Knowing the Word of God is so critical to our defense in those situations - sometimes God does give us discernment, but sometimes the enemy's teachers and his children can be extremely hard to detect - at first. I have had God step in several times when I couldn't see clearly - and I'm so thankful that he did. I've learned some very valuable lessons.
@@TrueSight_333well said and I have learned the hard way. The Holy Spirit warned me but others including a sister in law kept telling me I was wrong. I will never ever allow anyone to dictate their opinion or prophetic words to me again. I am grateful for God’s grace and mercy and guidance via the Holy Spirit and his Holy word.
@@markreed2576 EXCELLENT. You and I have walked similar paths!
The reason that Jesus said that is because you must have discernment you must be grounded in the word Jesus warned us about deception this is why the distinguishing of spirits important in this hour
Amen!!
🙏🏻 amen
I agree with you on this. There are no prophets in the New Testament that are like the Prophets in the Old Testament that were moved of God when the holy Ghost came on them. Today we are not giving the word of God to be written, but the word of God for edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
Only 12 in the new writings to the churches.
Even Peter's shadow healed the sick.
@@jameskerrigan2997 There were 9 that wrote the New Testament.
@@jameskerrigan2997 How does that have anything to do with being a prophet of God.
@@EugeneHolley-rc6ry a prophet speaks the word of God to the poeple. Sometimes there are miracles sometimes not. All the apostles prophesied, many did miracles. Word of yahushua through man is prophecy. As the Lord is the fulfilment of the law and prophets so his deciples will do like wise and greater. The body of believers was expanded far beyond the earthly ministry of the Messiah.
Love this video. Only down side it's hard to fallow along with all the verse you are presenting when you just go 10000 mph. Just my personal opinion
"There was much disputation"
Paul describes this in detail - how many times does Paul refer the gospel he gives as "my" gospel? MANY!
How can one accurately discern if a unwillingness or a inability to rightly divide the word of truth exist?
I say impossible!
Old men will dream dreams, young men will have visions....
This is what we do know will exist in this time
Just be aware even the enemy can be prophetic
As many comments state -
Do these prophetic claims align with what we should expect to see and hear, now -
Christ died on the cross for our sins, Jesus was entombed for three days and rose again. For the sins of mankind!
Christ returning soon in the air for his bride, then to the earth itself to rule and reign from the throne of David, for 1000 years!
If any claim in anyway disputes this, discard it, its that simple.
No Biblical proof God has ordained any prophet in this era(other than the two witnesses)
Y’all KEEP THE MORAL 10, he commands it
"Perhaps" they were still using their own mind thoughts which many hear their mind made God (does happen) , not in the understanding of God of Truth as is in the Name of Jesus Christ.
❤
We Will know a False Prophet If we are a Child of God and Reading The Bible Daily ( 1 to 6hrs Everyday If possible ) and Telling others The Way of Salvation. We will know either by their Fruit.
Nose
We have many in the body of Christ who have the gift of Prophecy or they operate in prophetic Ministry Authority but we don't have many that are true prophets like the late John Paul Jackson or Jonathan Cahn because a prophet's Ministry is to warn is to call people to repentance is to tell people to turn from their sins and point them to the Lord and the Bible.
Hey brother I have some questions concerning Christian content creating. I’m growing my channel. Any way of reaching out by email?
Hey man. Yeah my email is ghtv.contact@gmail.com.
False prophet tells you they are a prophet. Or more common with women they tell you they have the gift of decernment. Now blame the Lord not them when they slander and gossip about you.
I have misgivings about F. Graham. He endorsed the jab...
Revelation 2:20 who is Jezebel but the papacy, it is clear if you compare the desire of Baal for a palace and the Pope who lives in a palace.
Leading his children into fornication to commit adultery by the worship of the dead saints, Mary, and who gives itself the authority to change appointed times.
The heresy of the trinity and the changing of the sabbath are just some of the ways it leads those away from the Truth and the simplicity of Jesus Christ and his God.

A false prophet, by Biblically supported definitions, is someone who prophesies falsely. It is very simple that a person should never say that God has said something unless God has truly said it. Focusing on their intentions is not necessary. As the old adage states, the road to hell is paved wuth good intentions. Wanting to affirm someone might be characterized as a good intention but it is not necessarily a godly intention. If a person claims to prophesy, they are claiming that God has spoken through them. That is not something that should be taken lightly. Why are people trying to defend false prophecies and false prophets? It seems like to do so is to defend taking God's name in vain.
The example from Acts does not demonstrate that a prophet got something wrong. The prophesy was correct and fulfilled. The warning to Paul and pleading he not go was action based upon knowledge of what God said would happen; not saying that God had directed that he not go.
The prophets loved Paul and didn't want him to be persecuted. They did not tell him, however, that God is telling Paul not to go. The fact that this scripture is being twisted to defend false prophesies is an indicator of the aay false prophesy is tolerated and promoted.
The bottom line should be, Stop saying God has spoken when He hasn't and stop feeling pressured to demonstrate gifts that God is not bestowing on you. Concentrate more on displaying the fruit of the Spirit and less on gifts. When God wants gifts to be manifested, we don't need to help Him get it started.
Seek God first. Don't be like the magicians and seers seeking the gifts rather than the Giver.
Thanks for your comment! I never said we should affirm those who get it wrong. I actually said there should be greater accountability, and when people get it wrong they should repent, and there needs to be more care and fear of the Lord here. 1 Thessalonians 5-21 tells us to hold fast to what is good. It’s important we consider this passage as well.
Regarding your comment on Acts, they did say “through the spirit he should not go.”
Acts 21:4 (ESV) And having sought out the disciples, we stayed there for seven days. And through the Spirit they were telling Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.
Acts 21:12 (ESV) When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
The word was right, but their interpretation was wrong. Yes they loved him, but they let their emotions get in the way of what the spirit had already told Paul in Acts 19,20, and 21. So either 1. They misunderstood the word and took it as a warning and told him not to go (wrong interpretation), or 2. Clearly understood the word but told Paul to disobey the instructions of the Holy Spirit for the sake of their affection for him. I personally have to believe (other commentators agree) that it’s #1. This is a clear example of an accurate word, but an inaccurate interpretation, which still happens today.
The point is this: there is failure on both sides. Many speaking when God hasn’t spoken, but also many calling people false prophets who are not. There is plenty of room for improvement on both sides and my prayer is that we would move in discernment, and like you said, seek HIM rather than gifts. All of those things will follow as HE sees fit! God bless you my friend. I appreciate you.
@@glasshousetvofficial My comment about affirming was that so many "prophesies" these days are smooth words that affirm the person or church body that the "prophesy" is being declared to. I observe that most prophesies in the Bible are warnings and admonitions rather than affirmations of the intended hearers. People love to hear these words and flock after those who declare them, bestowing great financial wealth upon them.
I do believe that prophesy still occurs. I don't believe it is something a person can do at their own pleasure; it is something God gives when He determines in His will it is appropriate and necessary. I believe a person can quench it and not speak when they should; often because they don't wish t offend those present. But when a true prophesy is being given, I believe it is God speaking through them and if a person is truly being used by God in this manner, they will know it and not utter falsehoods one day and truth from God the next. I don't believe it is something to be practiced or rehearsed until you figure it out and get more things right through more careful couching of the language used or failing to be specific so that what is being "tested" is no more than "word salad".
I appreciate your ministry and spirit in which you deliver your thoughts.
I pray that all of us who call ourselves Christians would pray more for discernment as the world becomes more apostate around us so that we are not deceived by the false prophets and teachers as they become more and more prevalent.
Amen! Yes, there are many saying things in the name of the Lord to soothe, which I do not support! I appreciate the gracious reply and we are very much in agreement in that. May God bless you my brother!
@@timothyremick9108 Hey brother - you make a lot of good points here. I operate in the prophetic and the Word of Knowledge, and I can attest that much of what you are saying has been my experience and the experience of those that I know who (truly) operate in these gifts. Speaking for myself, what you said about being able to prophesy at the behest of one's own will versus as when directed to do so by God, is absolutely true and this is where I find the most error in venues like TH-cam. Prophesy isn't always about correction or rebuke, although I have found that to be the case in some instances. An attitude of humility in the heart of someone who God is using to speak is so critical... I cannot even begin to tell you. It is VERY easy to get puffed up in pride when you are used in this manner, but if your heart is right, or rather you are submitted to God, he is very good about keeping that stuff in check.
What you said about couching language to obfuscate error or make a "word" so general that it could be applied to just about anything is also very true. People need to understand something about those who operate in the gifts - that is NOT a sign of being right with God or being above the fray as a believer. Remember what Paul said to the church of Corinth - that they displayed the power of the Holy Spirit and even operated in the gifts, but yet they were CARNAL. This is something that God has had to remind me of time and again. Also in 1st Corinthians 13 - you can have every gift there is, but if you don't have LOVE that stuff is all worthless. Love is the base that any prophet of God operates out of - they HAVE to, otherwise they are doomed to fall into spiritual pride and there's nothing uglier than someone who has that gift but operates out of pride. Just like any minister, keeping a true and constant perspective about who they are and who GOD is, will abate any prideful tendencies.
Anyways, all great points brother - really good. Just wanted to say so.
What about words of knowledge where a person believes God as given them a picture (as in a representation of some situation) and then an interpretation to go with it?
Are you a true prophet?
A Teacher .
all self proclaimed prophets are fakes, which means all of the claims of these christians are false, and we can see how thta works. 2000+ years of complete failure.
And which "self-proclaimed prophets" would those be, since you're going back 2,000 years? Anyone can go back and test what the Old Testament prophets spoke and see that what they said indeed came to pass, otherwise, people would have disregarded the Bible centuries ago as just another book far removed from what it claims to be, which is the inspired Word of God. So really, I have no idea what you are talking about, and apparently neither do you.
@@TrueSight_333 Unsurprisingly anyone can go back and see that baseless stories claimed to fulfill prophecy fail miserably. NO evidene for the prophets existing and no evidence for the prophecies being fulfilled. People can be quite stupid, thinking that since somehting is written down, that means it is true.
It doesn't. As usual, christian lies fail ever single time.
@@velkyn1 I see. So the numerous prophecies that Israel would be a nation, cease to be a nation and then not only be a nation but a cup of trembling (Jerusalem) to the entire world, were all false prophesies despite the fact that they happened exactly as foretold, and Jerusalem is indeed the focal point of this entire world (in a bad way). Got it.
@@TrueSight_333 Curious how those aren't prophecies at all, and no more than the usual lies from christians who simply take things out of context. Which is always fun since you guys whine about context all of the time. They didn't happen as foretold, as you admit since Jerusalem was supposed to become the good focal point of the world. You are hilariously incompetent, TS.
What I like the best is that your end times lies depend on the false claims of prophecy, and already christians are trying to refigure how their "prophecies" work since your imaginary friend hasn't returned when they predicted. You are already trying to change your claims about the founding of Israel being the "right" date, and trying to gain a few years by changing that to when Israel got the west bank, etc.
